Just an idea for a smaller space. I can harvest up to 3 plants a month like clockwork with autos. I couldn't pull that off with photos in my space no matter how I divide. I don't think I'd ever say they're better plants in general, but they are a better choice for a LOT of folks. There are reasons you see names like Mephisto a lot.

I've never driven a foreign car in my life. After over 30 years of driving, it doesn't mean they're bad.
I'd considered something like this. Too much work just to get going imo. You're talking 3 environments. 2 light schedules. Fans, filters, worry of light leaks, blah, blah, etc. lol. Multiple tents would be a different story, I don't have the space.
I was in a hurry so I went simple. Auto flower. Get a tent that can hold say 9-12 plants at different stages. Start 3 beans. In a month, pop 3 more. Rinse, repeat. After about 3 months you'll be harvesting 3 plants every 4-6 weeks. 1 space, 1 environment, 1 light schedule/leaks don't matter. Drying would be you're only concern. I use the paper bag method usually.
Props if you can pull tent-ception off on the first go of it.
ive never dealt with autos so idk how they grow.. if you have 4 feet in height, minus light, and pot height, that's how much space you have for plants..probably not much space. id reconsider the height unless you can manage a vertical grow. might wanna check that out if 4 feet is the max.
No 4 feet isnt the max just thought. I was thinkin that 4 feet may have been a little short. Any recommended height as the plants sit right now there 4.5 feet tall at week 4 of flower. I was thinkin maybe 6 feet?
atleast 6'. just to give yourself plenty of room for lights and anything else you may hang from the "ceiling". when I built my first box it was in a basement and I built it with 6.5' height. had plenty of room for everything I needed to hang from above. gotta keep space between canopy and lights. . if you want them 4+ft at harvest youre going to need 6.5+ft in height.
They don't do better in Canada lol. They finish outdoors early but your indoors. I do grow auto's outdoors but not inside. I haven't found one that is worthy to go in the lab yet, they lack the more complexed highs I get from photo's and the majority I've tried really just are crap. Dutch passion seems to have some ok ones as does Mephisto I've been told. No need for multiple rooms with auto's and you may want to learn selfing plants to make the seeds if going auto's, way cheaper lol. Two rooms at 4x4 would be nice if you have space, one for cloning (photo's) and vegging. I use a 3x4 to veg, clone and it works ok. I have 8' head room and it's in two levels with the clones up, vegging plants below under T5's
